VOLUNTEER POSITION

Headstone Usher

Saturday, May 23, 2026 OR Sunday, May 24, 2026


What is a Headstone Usher?

The Headstone Ushers are essentially our quality control team during Flag Placement. They ensure that every Flag Placement volunteer is following directions and properly placing the flags. They are also in charge of directing Flag Placement Volunteers so that every headstone receives a flag.

Things to consider before volunteering:

  • You will be standing for the duration of your shift, if this isn’t something you will physically be able to handle, please consider another volunteer position. 
  • We rely on our Headstone Ushers to ensure Flag Placement volunteers follow directions properly. If you’re not confident in your ability to lead and guide people as needed, you may want to consider a different volunteer position.
